Country:
District:
Park in the Peyrelade car park.
(S/E) From the car park, head left to begin a significant climb to the castle. Then, take the path on the right that runs along the ramparts for 400 m until you reach a fork.
(1) Turn left, then immediately right onto the path that climbs through the woods and joins the wooded plateau of Puech de Fontaneilles after a sharp left turn. You will come out onto a forest path.
(2) Go back to the right and continue for 300 m to reach the television antenna and enjoy the view of the Trébans valley and the village of Bourg.
(3) Retrace your steps and continue straight ahead on the forest path until you come to a track.
(4) Turn left towards the Piédestal 400 m away, where you can enjoy a view of the Tarn valley, the village of Rivière-sur-Tarn and the hamlet of Caylus, perched on the hill opposite.
(5) Retrace your steps to the fork.
(4) Descend opposite via the forest track, which winds down in wide bends and eventually leads to the road to Fontaneilles.
(6) At the road, turn right until you reach a stone cross.
(7) Take the path on the left that leads to the hamlet of Les Caves d'entre Deux Monts.
(8) Return to the road and descend towards Fontaneilles.
(6) Pass a first track on the right, then a second on the left to reach the church square.
(9) Then take the second street on the left. At the stone cross, take the path that passes below a farm shed and continues to Louradou.
(10) At the Louradou cross, take the path on the left that climbs up to the hamlet of Peyrelade. Here you can visit the 12th-century castle, where you can learn about life in the days of the Lords of Rouergue.
The return to the car park at the starting point is quick (S/E).
And the little refreshment bar at the castle at the end is always welcome!
